Listener sentiment
Recent listener sentiment for The Dog Who Asked for More is overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers consistently praising host Em's expertise and the show's blend of practical dog-training guidance with genuine emotional support. Listeners frequently highlight the varied episode lengths — short, digestible installments alongside deeper dives — as well as the range of topics covered, from reactivity, anxiety, and nutrition to enrichment, training myths, and the growth mindset behind working with dogs. A recurring theme is how the show goes beyond standard pet advice: multiple reviewers mention finding unexpected comfort in episodes on grief, burnout, and the emotional weight of dog parenthood, with some noting the conversations resonate even beyond the dog-owner audience. The straightforward, no-fluff format and Em's compassionate, credible delivery are cited as standout qualities by both first-time and seasoned dog owners. The lone critical review in the window concerns a single episode on ethical breeding, where a listener strongly objected to the guest's perspective and felt the host didn't challenge the breeding-over-rescue argument — a topic-specific disagreement rather than a broader indictment of the show.
